immediate metro but if you're living or traveling to the central and southern parts of the shenandoah valley your rain chances are higher than that. what about tomorrow? a mostly cloudy but dry day. showers arriving sundaydown or later. we'll talk about the weekend when i see you next. the concept of free range parenting is in the news again. the silver spring couple in trouble after the young kids were found walking alone again and now these parents are planning to sue. their lawsuit stems from an incident on sunday. montgomery county police handed over their children to child protective services. the kids aged six and ten were spotted walking alone from a park near their home. the meitivs believe in free range parenting. we asked dr. joshua weiner about the pros and cons of free range versus helicopter parenting. dr. weiner tell us about this. >> the helicopter parent is the classic overprotective parent,

the parent who hovers around their kids wanting to protect them from any possible emotional or physical harm. so this is really the parent who wants to make sure they're there with every -- their child every step of the way. >> but all the scary things we hear about happening to children isn't it surprising that somebody would hover over their children? >> i think it's unnecessary and i think studies have shown that that type of parenting has negative consequences. so i think parents need to be careful about being overprotective because it can have negative impacts on their child. >> and the other style? >> the other style is the reverse, this is the free-range parent, the parent who gives their child a very long leash to go out and do what they want to do. this is the type of parent who says "you know what? i want my kid to be able to fail. i want them to be able to experience things on their own with the hope they'll be able to gain more self-confidence." >> okay. with the idea that there are predators out there. what are the prose and cons of each of those parenting styles? >> the advocates for helicopter parenting would say because you're with your child so much

it's developing a tight relationship between the two of you. that's really the main pro. the other pro, i guess, would be that if you're there, you are able to protect them from negative consequences in terms of danger. now, with regard to the free range parents, they would say you're helping your child experience self-confidence. they're gaining confidence and doing things by themselves and as a result they're going to be able to feel good about themselves and then be able to take extra steps along the way and experience confidence. >> the pros and cons. thank yo

the idea of free-range parenting is coming under fire again. a silver spring couple is planning to sue after their kids were taken away from them. the kids age six and ten, were spotted walking along from a park near their home on sunday. montgomery county police handed over the kids to child protective services.

the meitivs believe in free range parenting. we asked dr. joshua weiner what age is okay for a child to play outside alone. so dr. weiner at what age do you think it's okay for a child to play outside alone? >> it depends on two things. number one, it depends on your child and what they're going to do. so if you live in a busy dangerous neighborhood lots of traffic, you need to have that age be higher. if you're talking about your kid going in your backyard, it can be lower. if you're forcing me to give an age, seven, eight years old, somewhere in that range. but the important point is whatever you're doing you need to sit down with your child ahead of time and make sure they know what to do if problems occur so that way the child's prepared and you can be more calm that things will go well. >> as a psychiatrist with a lot of experience with children and parenting, what do you think is the best parenting style? >> be a sensible parent. neither extreme is really good. it's not good to be a helicopter parent it's not good to be an

extreme free-range parent. you want to be a parent who's loving supportive who's there with your child, who's authoritative but willing to listen to your child and take their feelings into consideration. this is what you want to do. you want to give them some leash so they can get some experiences, build their self-confidence. be moderate. moderation is a good thing when it comes to parenting. >> that's always the answer isn't it? >> it's the answer for a reason. >> everything to moderation thank you, dr. weiner. >> my pleasure. >> chuck, what's going on with the weather? >> my parents were push broom parents "get out there and play with your friends." it's 61 in maryland 62 in washington 59 over on the eastern shore in cambridge. if you're going outside later this afternoon like me going to take your afternoon run, temperatures will be hovering in the upper 60s to almost 70 degrees. no rain chances around the metro. next chance for rain inside the beltway comes up late in the day tomorrow. we could have a few showers in
